Hi I’m Otis 👋 I am currently working as a senior software developer at The Conqueror Challenges.
I’m interested in finite state machines, functional programming, and static site generators.
I am currently learning about Effect and LiveStore in my own time to keep my programmer brain stimulated.
AI has fundamentally changed the way software engineering works and while I may be mourning my craft the industry marches onward. I don’t have anything to say that hasn’t already been said by others:
TL;DR Not using AI feels like career suicide in the current climate so while it completely removes the joy from my work I use it as a means to an end.
99.99% of the thought leaders in the space are talking utter bullshit and should be ignored, the best advice I can give is to play with the tools and figure out what works for you.
Not that it matters but I use a workflow very similar to what Boris Tane is
doing. I have the agent write a plan to a markdown file, I annotate
it in hx, I have
the agent revise, I repeat this process until I am happy and then have
the agent execute the plan.
I use pi
with Docker
sandboxes because frankly I’m terrified of some
of the stories out there and want my agent as locked down as
possible.
